World Wrestling Entertainment fans think they know the high-flying "Heartbreak Kid." He's the company's first "Grand Slam" champion. And of course, he's forever the guy who conspired with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon to screw Bret "Hitman" Hart out of the WWE Championship in Montreal at Survivor Series in 1997. But this book introduces us to Michael Shawn Hickenbottom, whose "really conservative upbringing" made him shy and "afraid that people wouldn't like me." Here he recounts his career, his partnerships and breakups, his battles in and out of the ring. While reliving the crippling back injury that forced him to retire in his prime following his WWE Championship loss at WrestleMania XIV, Michaels credits the new loves in his life--his second wife, his children, and his newfound Christian faith--with giving him the strength to kick his habit, recover physically, and make a jubilant return to the ring.--From publisher description
